Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in New Orleans

I'm Italian so it's not easy for an Italian restaurant to impress me, but san Lorenzo is the real deal. The tuna carpaccio was off the charts, and the pomodoro was excellent. The saffron orrechiette was also amazing. We ordered the cannoli for dessert to make sure the place was legit Italiano, and it did not disappoint. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food and service. My wife and I had not been there in years. This was our Valentines meal and we loved it

My wife and I ate here for Valentine’s Day. We had the Oyster Bordelaise appetizer to start. The oyster were cooked perfectly, with a light batter but still an excellent texture and very tasteful seasoning and accompaniment. Caesar salad was also ordered and one of the better salads I’ve had in a quite some time. I order the 6oz Steak and my wife had the shrimp pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly, excellent sauce and sizeable shrimp (also cooked nicely) Steak was great and so were the roasted potato and mushroom argodolce. First time there. We will definitely be back. Service was also excellent.

Pizza, drinks, and service was great. Best pizza this side on Rome.
